Detailed Description

Encapsulates a path that points to location in a filesystem.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

path() [1/3]

xlnt::path::path

(

)

Construct an empty path.

path() [2/3]

xlnt::path::path ( const std::string &  path_string )

explicit

Counstruct a path from a string representing the path.

path() [3/3]

xlnt::path::path	(	const std::string &	path_string,
		char	sep
	)

Construct a path from a string with an explicit directory seprator.

Member Function Documentation

append() [1/2]

path xlnt::path::append

(

const std::string &

to_append

)

const

Append the provided part to this path and return the result.

append() [2/2]

path xlnt::path::append

(

const path &

to_append

)

const

Append the provided part to this path and return the result.

exists()

bool xlnt::path::exists

(

)

const

Return true iff the file or directory pointed to by this path exists on the filesystem.

extension()

std::string xlnt::path::extension

(

)

const

Return the part of the path following the last dot in the filename.

filename()

std::string xlnt::path::filename

(

)

const

Return the last component of this path.

is_absolute()

bool xlnt::path::is_absolute

(

)

const

Return true iff path::is_relative() is false.

is_directory()

bool xlnt::path::is_directory

(

)

const

Return true if the file or directory pointed to by this path is a directory.

is_file()

bool xlnt::path::is_file

(

)

const

Return true if the file or directory pointed to by this path is a regular file.

is_relative()

bool xlnt::path::is_relative

(

)

const

Return true iff this path doesn't begin with / (or a drive letter on Windows).

is_root()

bool xlnt::path::is_root

(

)

const

Return true iff this path is the root directory.

operator!=()

bool xlnt::path::operator!=

(

const path &

other

)

const

Returns true if left path is equal to right path.

operator==()

bool xlnt::path::operator==

(

const path &

other

)

const

Returns true if left path is equal to right path.

parent()

path xlnt::path::parent

(

)

const

Return a new path that points to the directory containing the current path Return the path unchanged if this path is the absolute or relative root.

read_contents()

std::string xlnt::path::read_contents

(

)

const

Open the file pointed to by this path and return a string containing the files contents.

relative_to()

path xlnt::path::relative_to

(

const path &

base_path

)

const

The inverse of path::resolve. Creates a relative path from an absolute path by removing the common root between base_path and this path. If the current path is already relative, return it unchanged.

resolve()

path xlnt::path::resolve

(

const path &

base_path

)

const

If this path is relative, append each component of this path to base_path and return the resulting absolute path. Otherwise, the the current path will be returned and base_path will be ignored.

split()

std::vector<std::string> xlnt::path::split

(

)

const

Create a string representing this path separated by the provided separator or the system-default separator if not provided.

split_extension()

std::pair<std::string, std::string> xlnt::path::split_extension

(

)

const

Return a pair of strings resulting from splitting the filename on the last dot.

string()

const std::string& xlnt::path::string

(

)

const

Create a string representing this path separated by the provided separator or the system-default separator if not provided.

system_separator()

static char xlnt::path::system_separator ( )

static

The system-specific path separator character (e.g. '/' or '\').
